Are you exhausted from trying to make things happen in your own strength? Discover why your self-confidence might be the very thing holding you back from God's best and how to find true power in surrender.
In this transformative message, Elliott Warren dives deep into the subtle danger of self-reliance. Using the biblical examples of Peter’s denial and King Uzziah’s rise and fall, he explains why our natural talents, willpower, and resources often become stumbling blocks to our faith.
If you feel like you keep hitting a wall despite your best efforts, this sermon is for you. Learn practical steps to move from "striving" in the flesh to truly "trusting" in the Spirit. Discover how to pause, seek God’s will, and let go of control so that God can build something in your life that man never could.
